No idea of the temperature this morning as I wasn't home.
It's been a bit of a couple of days.
Yesterday afternoon we left for Huntington for Larry's early appointment next day at the VA for his cardioversion, to get his heart back in rhythm.
Did you know there is a place called Fisher House where veterans and their spouse or caregiver can stay for free? There are 97 of these houses located across the US, built by the Fisher family as a way to help veterans. Three more will be built soon. What a gift!
The house is beautifully furnished, with a well-stocked kitchen and spacious rooms.
There is a large patio as well, and a gas grill testifies to occasional cookouts. When we arrived, we were greeted by the appetizing aroma of pot roast, and the other couples were just gathering for dinner.
We were in bed early and up early too. I made myself a quick breakfast but poor Larry could not eat because he had a blood test coming up, followed by an EKG.
And guess what? His heart had put itself back in rhythm! So no need for the cardioversion after all. Now we must monitor his heart rate closely and see if things stay normal.
So we were on the road to home earlier than expected, and Larry was past ready to eat. A stop at West Virginia's favorite breakfast place soon fixed that, and I made like a hobbit and had a second breakfast!
On the way home we stopped at a thrift (of course!) and came away with a cute wicker chest of drawers. Once home we unloaded it and I painted it immediately while Larry finished up the windmil he was putting together. (The chest will need repaired in one place on the wicker, so I ordered a wicker repair kit and will try my hand at a fix.) Then a quick supper and I was off again to attend a bowed psaltery concert. What a treat, and a good way to end the day.
